Why is Soapbox Racing insurance essential?

Soapbox racing, popular discipline born in USA (Akron Ohio Soap Box Derby since 1934), consists in descending slope on engineless vehicle. Red Bull Soapbox Race (created 2000) organises 40 yearly world events in spectacular cities : Paris-Trocadero, London Alexandra Palace, Madrid, Berlin, Athens Akropolis, New York Brooklyn, Tokyo. Machines designed to combine originality and performance (themed boxes : plane, sushi, taxi, banana split). In France, French Soapbox Federation (FFCS) organises French Cup on communal descents. Speeds reach 60-90 km/h depending on slope. Risks important despite engineless : often poorly-protective homemade boxes, minimal or absent braking, wood/metal structure on roll. Corner crashes frequent (fast trajectory skims barriers).
